Multiple Entry Tourist Visa

[pgrin]

Recieved 3 entry tourist visa 31 Oct 2005. Stamp says must be used by 30 April 2006. Entered Thailand 15 Nov 2005, one entry used. Visa run 7 Feb 2006(after 30 day extension) re-enter 2nd entry used. 60+30 days will be early May after expiration date on original stamp. Will I still be able to use the last tourist Visa?

No. The expiry date is 30 April so all must be used by that date.

No. The expiry date is 30 April so all must be used by that date.

This is a QUESTION !

I thought another Visa Run before 30 April will give 60 Days

from the date of return (+ a possible extension?)

That was not the question of original poster. Of course you can use visa during the time it is valid and receive a 60 day stay if you have another entry authorized. But poster asked if he could use an entry after the visa expiration date. As I answered he will have to use them before the expiration date or lose them.

OK - Got it !!

Thanks Lop

I'll take some Reading Lessons ! haha

Same question part 2. I will be renewing my passport which expires Nov 2006. What happens to my visa stamp. Can I get it transfered to my new passport here in Thailand?

Perhaps.

Your current stay stamp can be transferred but people have mixed reporting on visas.

Perhaps.

Your current stay stamp can be transferred but people have mixed reporting on visas.

Pgrin, the Immigration Bureau has a specific form to request the transfer of a stamp. Whether this also applies to a visa, you best call Immigration to find out.

In case you should have difficulty displaying Thai fonts on your computer, I attach the form in PDF format.

My passport was full up last year so I got a new one, rightly or wrongly I didn't bother getting the visa transferred. The next time I did a visa run I gave the Immigration lady both passports, she had a quick look, stamped me out on my new one and that was it.

… and on your next entry into Thailand, stamped you in on the new passport, based on the visa (multiple-entry non-O) in the old passport? That is Pgrin’s question.

Has anybody had this experience?

Where do you get multiple-entry non-O from? I read it as '3 entry tourist visa', which is what I had.

You’re right, my mistake.

Then was your experience like this?

1. Passport (PP) 1: Stamp of 3-entry tourist visa. Entry 1 into Thailand.

2. Obtain PP2.

3. Exit with PP1 and PP2. Visa in PP1, exit stamp in PP2.

4. Enter with PP1 and PP2. Visa in PP1, entry stamp in PP2.

Or steps 2-4 above might have been after entry 2 into Thailand.

From your earlier post we know that Immigration – very unbureaucatically – let you exit with the visa (and entry stamp) in the old passport and stamp your exit in the new passport. If on your subsequent entry you were stamped in on your new passport based on the 3-entry tourist visa still in the old passport, that would be good news for Pgrin, I think.
